Janettes Tortilla Chip Snapper With Tequila Mango Salsa Recipes

TEQUILA SALSA

• In a 2-quart saucepot, heat the olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes or until translucent. Add the tomatoes and dried chiles. Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add the bread and water, stir in well. Cook the mixture for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chiles are soft and cooked.
• Add the cooked mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour through a strainer to catch any large pieces and seeds. Return the strained salsa to the saucepot and add the tequila. On low-medium heat, bring the sauce to a simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.

RED SNAPPER WITH MANGO SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the grill to make a hot fire.
• To prepare the Mango Shrimp Salsa, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Saute 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shrimp. Saute 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the shrimp turns pink.
• Add the fruit juices, chilies, tomatoes, and tomatillos. Cook just long enough to warm the tomatoes and combine the ingredients. Remove from heat and gently stir in the mango and cilantro. Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Coat the fish with the 2 teaspoons of oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.
• (Rub the grill with additional oil to prevent the fish from sticking.) Grill the fish on one side about 5 minutes or less. Using a metal spatula, carefully turn the fish and grill about 3 minutes or less, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Spoon the warm salsa over the grilled fish and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine the mangoes, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt, and toss. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving, so the flavors can marry.

• Remove the chips from the fryer and place on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle the chips immediately with the salt, and serve warm with the salsa.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stack a few corn tortillas at a time, and cut through the stack to make each tortilla into six equal wedges. Spread the wedges out in a single layer on two baking sheets, season with salt, and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.

Roast, uncovered, for 45 minutes, by which time the flesh closest to the bone of the thickest area should be perfectly white, and not at all glassy.
